big bugs
Twenty some year ago I lived in Boston, and a bunch of us (17) bought some lobsters (3). Two of them were thirteen pounders, and one was a fifteen pounder. We decided against getting the 38 pounder because we only had 40 quart pots.
One of the guys was from Maine and told us how the tomalley was the best part, so he got to eat all three, and missed out on the real meat. The little side legs were the size of my fingers.
If you rub a lobster on the forehead, their eyes tuck in, and they fall alseep. Then you can stand them on their nose and claws, and they fall over when they wake up.
In colonial times there are records of 5 and 6 foot long lobsters.
